Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 18/08/2026My FIL thinks that everyone who speaks Spanish is an illegal. “There are illegals everywhere. I heard a bunch of guys speaking Spanish.” Meanwhile, guess what these illegals/legals were doing when he heard them talking? They were working. This is why President Moron got elected. People like my FIL. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Something that interests me is how recently there have been living veterans of “long ago” wars. My grandfather was born in 1912. When he was little Civil War vets were everywhere. My father was born in 1946, and the last Civil War vet died when he was 10. I was born in 1973 and I knew a WWI vet. 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 22/05/2026My little guy graduated from HS last night! 💕 Here he is with his cousin (who graduated from a different HS two days ago), who will be joining him at Villanova this fall ! 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 19/05/2026When you weigh 8 pounds and spend most of the year freezing, this is wonderful weather. ☀️ 🐱 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Send your kids to a private high school, so May 14 can be their last day 🤯 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Unrelated (or perhaps related) to my last tweet, yesterday I had a great phone call w/ someone I worked with long ago. Had not spoken to him since perhaps early ‘00. Picked right up & chatted about stuff. Amazing how that happens. Other people —if you don’t talk for 2 years they’re like strangers. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 09/04/2026A friend of ours in town didn’t know what the Strait of Hormuz was. Good god. I’m not even sure she knew about the war with Iran. This is an adult with a home and a job and two sons, 16 and 18. Imagine the bliss of having zero interest in what’s happening in the world and being devoid of curiosity. 020
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 03/04/2026I love to hear my SIL describe how her days as a teacher are brutal. Stuff like, my lunch break was taken up by a meeting and I forgot my mittens for bus duty. Rough stuff. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Picked up my son at school yesterday evening. It was like 50° and *pouring* rain. These college kids were all walking around campus in hoodies which were soaked. Nobody wore a rain coat. Is it uncool to wear a nice Patagonia or Columbia rain jacket which keeps you dry?! Kids these days. What morons. 110
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Can’t wait for Easter when my FIL says something like “Trump accomplished the mission. The world is safer.” 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 26/03/2026My cousin’s son had a fantasy about joining Army Infantry after college. He ended up getting a job as an assistant coach for a college baseball team in VT. I wonder if he’s happy he didn’t join the Army or feels he’s missed out on “action.” Maybe he aches to be on the ground on Kharg Island. 😐 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 19/03/2026I know a guy who graduated w/ a bio. degree in ‘98 & has been working in retail since. Never used his degree. He’s very proud of how little he reads. He jokes about it. “I read a Dr. Seuss book to my sons.” Quite ironic. His job sucks. Maybe he should have embraced the learning thing more. 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 05/03/2026My cousin has been spelling her son’s girlfriend’s name wrong for about 6 months. 🤦🏻♂️ I guess some people think details don’t matter, but come on. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 02/03/2026When I was 6 & 7 years old, Iran was the biggest story there was. Evil ayatollah. Regime change. Here we are again. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Music fans: The new Gorillaz album is amazing. (As if it would be anything less than amazing.) 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 14/02/2026It’s sort of wild that I knew a WWI veteran when I was little. He lived across the street and brought us tomatoes. I don’t think my kids have even met a WW2 veteran. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 05/02/2026I’m 53 today. I legit feel old. Winter birthdays suck compared to the lovely May through Oct stretch. I can’t (don’t want to) go out & even attempt to do something fun. And also, see my last post re cabin fever. And I have a beard, which is now mostly white. I’m closer to 80 than I am to college. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Wife & I have been working from home since Mar. 2020. We have no issues seeing each other a lot (which is obv good!), & we can talk about household stuff & plan & walk the dog. But it’s weird when it’s cold AF & our patio has 10” of snow. I’m the Suburban Recluse, but even I get cabin fever. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 04/02/2026I started working at 7:00 and I blinked. It’s now 11:00. This is how days turn into years so suddenly. 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 24/01/2026When a big snow storm is coming and you go around d the house doing things like dusting and straightening books on shelves and other stuff that has nothing to do with warmth and survival. 😂 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 20/01/2026A large percentage of my tweets (or whatever they’re called here) have concerned her. 😂 My life is exciting. Wasting my time complaining about a cleaning lady. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Cleaning lady has canceled again. We have decided we are done. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 18/01/2026These days a Breaking News pop up on your phone can be anything from Stranger Things collaborates with Burger King on a new type of onion ring. to Trump declares war on France, declaring “We will destroy your weak country swiftly.” Fun times. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 14/01/2026I had a dream that there was a silver coin vending machine which sold coins for a ridiculously cheap price. You put in 4 quarters and get a fat silver coin worth far more than $1. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 12/01/2026“Suits”… attractive people who are incredibly bright solving complex problems while wearing expensive clothes. My law practice … old tired guy wearing a Costco hoodie while writing out a check for $1.62 for client medical records. Practicing law … it’s just like on TV. 030
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Completely unrelated to my cleaning lady rant, I just mis-typed the word “service” as “cervice” and it reminded me of “crevice.” 😂 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 06/01/2026For 15 years my cleaning lady has been parking in a spot in the driveway that gives us access to both garage doors. Out of the blue, a few months ago, she just starts parking in front of the garage doors. I told her then that she must park where she has alway parked. I explained why… 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 31/12/2025I don’t have any crazy stories or Scroogish comments about this Christmas. But the adult gift giving remained awkward and unnecessary. My BIL’s sister (my wife’s sister’s husband’s sister) who we don’t really know well or see is literally on the verge of bankruptcy. And she got us a $25 Amazon card. 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Today’s the day! … the day we learn nothing. We will be in the same place with Epstein tomorrow at 10:00am. The Epstein stuff won’t be Trump’s downfall. His ineptitude about the economy will be. Raise your hand if you think the country’s jobs and prices will be kicking ass in nine months. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Is Epstein stuff really getting released tomorrow? Or will it just … not be released? Or will all/some be released but as a mass of blacked out redacted documents? Serious question. 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Heady few days. Brown shooter just 2.3 miles from my son’s college. We had a neighborhood lurker Saturday night and when a neighbor called the State police, the Statie (from the barracks a mile away; we don’t have a police force) never showed up. Australia shooting. Reiner murdered. This world. 😡 220
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 14/12/2025There’s an insane amount of food waste this time of year. You have 7 friends over for a small holiday get-together. Drinks. A few food items. And they show up with like hundreds of cookies & chocolate peanut cluster things & donuts. More sweets than my wife and I eat in a year…. 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 11/12/2025As you know, my cleaning lady has been terrible for the last year or so (after 10+ years of outstanding service). She cancels about one out of three times, always at the last minute. This week she just never showed up. My wife texted her. She’s in Poland. She never told us… 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Now soccer is truly done. Banquet a couple of nights ago. The departing seniors. Soccer was a big part of our lives for the last 12 or so years. 100
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 10/12/2025I still rant and rave on a couple of anonymous Twitter/X accounts. Really unhinged stuff. Do you all do this? I never fully left Twitter. 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 10/12/2025It’s weird being unlocked. I suppose people could stumble upon what I’ve written. Like when I said our friend was pissed when we surprised her for her birthday. I guess she’d have to go on here and do a really specific word search to find that. Or the widow of the guy who drove into the house. 000
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Earlier, I alluded to the crazy things that have happened adjacent to me. My good friend (X) from college married Y. She had an affair w/ another guy (Z) we went to college with. Z gave Y an STD and she was worried she gave it to X & that would get Y & Z caught. Y & Z dosed X’s sushi w/ antibiotics 110
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 10/12/2025My niece, in MA, applied to colleges in the stretch of PA through GA. She has gotten into colleges in NJ & NC and is waiting on more in PA, VA, NC, SC. My MIL *cannot* wrap her brain around this. She says “I think she’ll end up somewhere in Mass.” Uhh, no. She didn’t apply to any colleges in MA. 🙄 110
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 10/12/2025I’m 52. I raked leaves yesterday for two hours. It kicked my ass in a way it would not have 10 years ago. Don’t get old, folks. But more importantly, don’t get fat and out-of-shape. 😂 150
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 05/12/2025My son got his wisdom teeth out today. When he was coming out of anesthesia he asked the dental assistant if she smoked weed. She said “Not now. In the past.” 😂 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Adult gift giving is a drag when you’re buying for well-off people who buy what they they want whenever they want & possess everything imaginable. It would be a great contrast to have a poor relative. “Here, Aunt Sally. I got this for you because I know your toaster has been broken for 2 years.” 010
Suburban Recluse @a55m3at.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Big ass black bear has been roaming all over our neighborhood for about a week. This is across the street, in my closest neighbor’s yard. He walked through our yard about a week ago. I was a bit jumpy when I put the trash out last night. 010
